Inventor Inklings

What do you do with an idea?
While some people find a blank slate energizing and motivating, others can find it a bit intimidating. The same can be said for a new makerspace with its endless possibilities and focus on more freeform creativity.
​
Using the overarching question of what to do with an idea students begin to explore biomimicry, communication, and the engineering design process as they ask themselves:

"How can we use science and engineering to help our community?"
